 AUGUST: 

Who are we, anyway?

We're a group of 27 first-time authors who've joined together to spread the word about our books.

We're the successor to the Class of 2k7.

We hail from all over the US.

Our books come from a spectrum of the top publishers, are divided evenly between YA and MG, and range widely in setting, tone, and subject.

But what we, as their authors, all have in common is our excitement about our books, about readers and about bringing the two together.

SEPTEMBER: 

 

  

Connect to our class at  our blog, MySpace, Facebook, and Jacket Flap pages.

OCTOBER: 

 

 

Our goal is to keep this site changing as our books launch into the world, so bookmark us, and come back often!

DECEMBER:  

 

 

With this website, we'll showcase all 27 books and authors. Because that's a lot to take in at once, we've made it easy for you to distinguish between MG and YA titles. Some titles do blur the lines, so even if you favor one reading level, you may want to look over the other, too.

 

We'd love any feedback. If there's a new topic you'd like to see, questions you may have, or suggestions on how we can work to bring readers and books together, tell us. We want our website and our group to be a valuable resource whether you're a bookseller, librarian, teacher ... or simply a reader.

 

See what's already come out!
